Anyway, enough of that, not to mention there is about three people that read this Blog.. Hi Sarah, Jar and Leila...haha. Here's what you all came for PIC TIME!!
Caio!!!
I found out a pretty cool technique on photoshop the other day, which gives what is called a cross processed look. So I revamped the image below with it
Since being back in Blackpool I have done absolutely fuck all. I need to do something tomorrow or I will explode. Here is the result of not having much to do... Photoshop fun!!
Thats it I'm so bored I can even be arsed to write anything interesting!
I finally got to meet the newest member of the Smyth clan on Saturday and what a cute new addition he is! Unfortunately he wasn't in the mood for getting his picture taken when I arrived but I managed to get a couple of snaps.
I reckon this is the nicest one but I still have to have a look through the ones I shot... enjoy his cuteness!!
How beautiful is this sunset, down by the north pier... Blackpool isn't
all donkeys and candy floss you know!!!
I'm back on the 21st of March by the way.
I handed in my Words assignment last Tuesday, with a smile on my face. I have to say out of all the projects I have completed so far, this one has to be my favorite. I feel I am starting to work images and create more than just PURTTY pictures.
Anyway, here is the 2nd final image for the isolation concept. One of the images had to be shot in the studio, so I decided that a still life would give more flexibility to approach the word visually. The idea behind this image is two fold.
1- An Isolated scene- Jack Daniels, one glass, one fag, one, match burnt out. Obviously one being echoed through the image relates to being alone and being isolated from others. Also smokers now are Isolated outside blah blah.
2- Racism: I decided to subtly portray the Isolation involved in being someone different. So if we look at the matches we see a bunch of red head matches and one burnt out BLACK. I also added a telephone number and a name which I am not going to explain, to see if anyone gives a fuck enough to find out about.
Anyway pic times!!
Oh the name is Bobby Franks Cherry. You can read it on the A3 print!
This is one of my two final images for the word "Isolation". This shot is an important one to me as it represents a step up in technical knowledge. I put alot of effort into the shot and although it may not be the greatist in the world, I get a real feeling of accomplishment and progression of my abilities as a photographer when I look at it.
So there you go...
